Yin is an anarchist radical scholar and ecological activist who is committed to understanding and interrupting the devastating impacts of modern societies. He seeks meaningful mutuality of becoming and embodied kinship with all life through transformed ways of knowing, being and doing that are grounded in wisdom, humility, respect, generosity, down-shifted collective sufficiency, voluntary simplicity, frugality, direct participation and radical localisation.

• Surface and challenge deep-set axioms of modern societies

• Shift and inspire others to experience, sense and perceive the cosmos in fresh ways

• Seed new ways of being, knowing and doing with potential to transform lives
